31.10.2007 CIMCO at EuroMold CIMCO Integration will be in place at the Euromold fair in the Exhibition Centre, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, from 5 - 8 December. Look for us in Hall 8.0, Booth no. F113 .

31.10.2007 CNC sliding head auto replaces three cam types UK machining subcontractor has purchased its first CNC sliding head automatic lathe, which will replace three existing cam-operated automatic lathes in machining complex work While celebrating its 60th anniversary, Chris Colclough general manager of Manchester Automatic Machining Co, UK, ordered its first new CNC sliding head automatic lathe - a Citizen L20-VIII - at NC Engineering's recent Open House. The Citizen L20-VIII will replace three of the 19 cam autos installed in the 750ft2 subcontract machine shop that employs nine people in Sale, Cheshire.

31.10.2007 Machining with five-axis simultaneous capability The latest Deckel Maho DMU 40 MonoBLOCK universal machining centre with five-axis simultaneous capability and up to 42,000 revs/min spindle, takes up no more than 4m of floorspace Breaking new ground in machine design, specification and functionality, the latest Deckel Maho DMU 40 MonoBLOCK universal machining centre with five-axis simultaneous capability and up to 42,000 revs/min spindle, is the most compact, taking up no more than 4m of floorspace, in the totally new generation of the MonoBLOCK machine series.

31.10.2007 Large display has 22 CNC machine tools One of the largest exhibition stands at the recent EMO 2007 machine tool show was the Yamazak Mazak Corporation one with 22 CNC machine tools on display The Japanese machine tool builder, Yamazaki Mazak Coporation, showed 22 machine tools , including those built in the UK and the USA.

31.10.2007 Turning centre cuts two parts in one Latest twin-turret, twin-spindle, turning centre offers simultaneous cutting of two workpieces combined with barfeed and parts handling to dramatically reduce cycle times Yamazaki Mazak introduced its Hyper Quadrex 150MSY twin-turret, twin-spindle, turning centre at EMO 2007 in Hannover, Germany last month. The machine is for the efficient cutting of bar material up to 65mm diameter. It offers simultaneous cutting of two workpieces combined with barfeed and automated parts handling to dramatically reduce cycle times, said Yamazaki.

31.10.2007 Linear motors smooth wire EDM operation Applying linear motor drives to wire-cut EDMs raises precision and provide vibration-free operation, while latest control systems reduce energy consumptipon by about 40% Sodick' claims that its linear motor technology has revolutionised the AP wire-EDM series of machines, providing vibration free travel, an even higher level of precision and more dynamic machining. Furthermore, said Sodick, the new CNC system working in conjunction with the linear motors and the LQ control reduces energy consumption by about 40%.

31.10.2007 Wire EDM has fewer parts and more rigidity An increase of 40 per cent to machine rigidity and twin-servo wire tension control giving 35 per cent fewer mechanical parts, are factors that improve performance of the latest Fanuc wire EDM range An increase in capacity making it the largest working volume in its class with faster automatic wire feed and improved thermal characteristics, an increase of some 40 per cent to machine rigidity and the addition of twin-servo wire tension control giving some 35 per cent reduction of mechanical parts, are all key factors to improve performance of the latest top-selling Fanuc wire EDM range.

31.10.2007 Wire-cut EDM is claimed to be world's fastest Introduced at EMO 2007, a wire EDM machine, equipped with linear motor drives, is claimed to be the world's fastest of its type in large die manufacture Sodick's AQ series, claimed to be the world's fastest and highest accuracy wire-cut EDM, incorporates the latest technology. Features include linear motors drives and has now been extended even further, with the launch of the mighty AQ900L. The AQ900L has been developed in response to the growing demands for large die production.

18.10.2007 CNC automatic lathes up speed, flexibility Italian builder of CNC automatics introduced advances in the design and control of CNC single- and multi-spindle lathes as well as multislide machines, all developed to raise output and flexibility At EMO 2007, Gildemeister Italiana, or Gital, showed six CNC automatic lathes for the first time. They were the Sprint 20 linear and Sprint 50 linear automatic lathes, the GMC 35 linear/ISM and GMC 42 linear/ISM multi-spindle machines, and the MSL 42 and MSL 60 CNC-controlled multislide automatic lathes.

18.10.2007 Multi-spindle automatic machines billets A multi-spindle automatic lathe designed for machining parts from billets features a 'toboggan' loading system that allows two work pieces to be processed simultaneously For machining pre-partly or semi-machined work pieces or billets, Tornos, at EMO 2007, showed its MultiAlpha 8x20 CNC multi-spindle turning machine, which is fed with components or billets by a 'toboggan' system. The 'toboggan' system enables the machine to be loaded in two positions. Two work pieces are then machined per cycle using four workstations doing the same operations twice.
